I had about 8 staples on the outside then going into my belly button then back out again. I swear my belly button looks deformed now! :thumbup: I had the clear trips over mine as well, none of them bled through but my belly button. All of mine fell off a week in. I'm glad you're not bleeding, it's not fun, actually it's pretty nasty. :thumbup:

I've tried ice and pressure. It seems to ooze the most when I'm active or sitting, walking is fine, but if I'm cleaning around the house, driving or actually sitting down it comes out. When I asked them to check it out they took out 2 staples and cauterized where the two staples were, and told me it just needed to work itself out. It just started to ooze out the other side :cursing: Well at least I go tomorrow and see what they say. I don't want it to get infected so I have been cleaning it constantly and letting it air. Thanks for the advise

So I was banned on the 28th. :cursing: Had a few scary things happen like low blood pressure/low blood sugar (non diabetic) and now I have to take Iron pills. It looks like the incision through my belly button is oozing dark red blood. It's been doing this since the surgery. I went to the doctor (I was changing the dressings up to four times a day) and they said I had a blood clot *the good kind* and your body either absorbs it or pushes it out. Mine is pushing it out. I'm still bleeding though, and I'm supposed to get my staples out Weds 2/10. Did anyone else go through this? Is there anyway to make it stop? I finally feel like my self again!!
